Just about every time we have snowy and windy conditions here in the Twin Ports, someone inevitably blurts out, "they are going to close the bridges!" And all of us who work across the bridge (Duluth or Superior side) start to panic we won't make it home. The frustrating part of this whole situation is that 99% of the time, the bridges don't close, but misinformation is spread anyway by rumors. Here's where you can go to find out for yourself.

If you've been wondering when the Blatnik Bridge would reopen to Superior-bound drivers - here's the news you've been waiting for; The south-bound lanes of the "high bridge" will open to traffic this Friday, October 19th - wrapping up a summer's worth of road construction.

If you live, work, or play in the City of Superior - get ready for some road construction over the next four years - a LOT of road construction.

Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, along with the Superior-Douglas County Chamber of Commerce and the Superior Business Improvement District are alerting motorists to what they can expect and ways in which they can get around easier in the coming years - in light of the projects.

One of the two main bridges in the Twin Ports is about to see some dramatic upgrading; When it returns to full capacity, it will also usher in the first roundabout in the Duluth-Superior area.
A roundabout is an interstate-style circular road that will get traffic off the Bong Bridge without using stoplights or stop signs
